Kings IV 11
1 And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.
Der Athalia, Ahasias Moder, saa, at hendes Søn var død, da gjorde hun sig rede og udryddede al kongelig Sæd.
2 And Josabee daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of her brother, and stole him from amongst the king's sons that were put to death, [secreting] him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Gotholia, and he was not slain.
Men Joseba, Kong Jorams Datter, Ahasias Søster, tog Joas, Ahasias Søn, og stjal ham midt ud af Kongens Børn, som bleve dræbte, ham og hans Amme i Sengekammeret; og de skjulte ham for Athalias Ansigt, saa at han ikke blev dræbt.
3 And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.
Og han var hos hende i Herrens Hus skjult i seks Aar; men Athalia var Dronning i Landet.
4 And in the seventh year Jodae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jodae showed them the king's son.
Men i det syvende Aar sendte Jojada og tog de øverste over hundrede for Livvagten og Drabanterne og lod dem komme til sig i Herrens Hus; og han gjorde en Pagt med dem og tog en Ed af dem i Herrens Hus og viste dem Kongens Søn.
5 And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which you shall do.
Og han bød dem og sagde: Dette er den Gerning, som I skulle gøre: Den tredje Part af eder, som træde til om Sabbaten, skal holde Vagt imod Kongens Hus.
6 Let a third part of you go in [on] the sabbath-day, and keep you the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep you the guard of the house.
Og den tredje Part skal være ved Porten Sur og den tredie Part ved Porten, som er bag Drabanterne, og I skulle holde Vagt for Huset for at afspærre det.
7 And there [shall be] two parties amongst you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.
Men de to Parter af eder, nemlig alle, som træde fra om Sabbaten, de skulle holde Vagt i Herrens Hus om Kongen.
8 And do you compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.
Og I skulle omringe Kongen trindt omkring, enhver med sine Vaaben i sin Haand, og hvo som trænger ind igennem Rækkerne, skal dødes; og I skulle være hos Kongen, naar han gaar ud, og naar han gaar ind.
9 And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae the priest.
Og de øverste for hundrede gjorde efter alt det, som Jojada, Præsten, bød, og de toge hver sine Mænd, som traadte til om Sabbaten, tillige med dem, som traadte fra om Sabbaten, og de kom til Præsten Jojada.
10 And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the swords and spears of king David that were in the house of the Lord.
Og Præsten gav Høvedsmændene for hundrede Spydene og Skjoldene, som havde hørt Kong David til, og som vare i Herrens Hus.
11 And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, [by] the altar and the house round about the king.
Og Drabanterne stode, hver med sine Vaaben i sin Haand, fra den højre Side af Huset til den venstre Side af Huset, hen imod Alteret og Huset, trindt omkring Kongen.
12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown and [gave him] the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped [their] hands, and said, Long live the king.
Siden førte han Kongens Søn ud og satte Kronen paa ham og overgav ham Vidnesbyrdet, og de gjorde ham til Konge og salvede ham, og de klappede i Hænderne og sagde: Kongen leve!
13 And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.
Der Athalia hørte Drabanternes og Folkets Røst, da kom hun til Folket i Herrens Hus.
14 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood near a pillar according to the manner; and the singers and the trumpeters were before the king and all the people of the land [even] rejoicing and sounding with trumpets: and Gotholia tore her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
Og hun saa, og se, da stod Kongen paa Forhøjningen, som Skik var, og Fyrsterne og Basunerne vare om Kongen, og alt Folket i Landet var glad og blæste i Basunerne; da sønderrev Athalia sine Klæder og raabte: Oprør! Oprør!
15 And Jodae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain in the house of the Lord.
Men Jojada, Præsten, bød de øverste over hundrede, som vare beskikkede over Hæren, og sagde til dem: Fører hende ud hen uden for Rækkerne, og hvo som følger hende, dræber ham med Sværd; thi Præsten havde sagt, at hun ikke skulde dræbes i Herrens Hus.
16 And they laid hands upon her, and went in by the way of the horses' entrance into the house of the Lord, and she was slain there.
Og de gjorde Plads for hende til begge Sider, og hun gik den Vej, ad hvilken Hestene gaa til Kongens Hus, og hun blev dræbt der.
17 And Jodae made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; also between the king and the people.
Da gjorde Jojada en Pagt imellem Herren og imellem Kongen og Folket, at de skulde være Herrens Folk, og imellem Kongen og imellem Folket.
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and completely broke in pieces his altars and his images, and they killed Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.
Da kom alt Folket i Landet ind i Baals Hus, og de nedbrøde hans Altre, og hans Billeder sønderbrøde de aldeles og sloge Matthan, Baals Præst, ihjel lige for Altrene; men Præsten beskikkede Tilsyn i Herrens Hus.
19 And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Chorri, and the Rhasim, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of the Lord; and they went in by the way of the gate of the footmen of the king's house, and seated him there on the throne of the kings.
Og han tog de øverste over hundrede og Livvagten og Drabanterne og alt Folket fra Landet, og de førte Kongen ned fra Herrens Hus og kom ad Vejen igennem Drabanternes Port til Kongens Hus; og han satte sig paa Kongernes Trone.
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they killed Gotholia with the sword in the house of the king.
Og alt Folket i Landet var glad, og Staden blev rolig, efter at de havde slaget Athalia ihjel med Sværd i Kongens Hus.
21 Joas [was] seven years old when he began to reign.
Joas var syv Aar gammel, der han blev Konge.
